Abraham Lincoln became the sixteenth US president during a very dark time in America's history. Author Timothy Ballard explores the crucial role that President Lincoln played to bring this nation closer to heaven. Readers will see Lincoln as a man inspired of God who invoked a covenant relationship between America and its maker--not unlike the national covenants invoked by righteous leaders in the Book of Mormon. In addition, The Lincoln Hypothesis reveals documented evidence that Abraham Lincoln did, in fact, check out the Book of Mormon as he struggled with making some of the most critical decisions of his presidency. Did he read it? Did it influence him? Was the Book of Mormon a key factor in Lincoln's success and the healing of a nation? The author states, as you read, you will, like a prosecutor reviewing a case, or like a jury determining a verdict, identify valuable pieces of evidence that can be fully substantiated. You will also identify pieces of evidence that cannot. I ask you to consider all the evidence and weigh it all accordingly. Through this study, many questions regarding the interplay between the restored gospel and the Civil War will be answered. New questions may emerge that will not be so easily answered. Either way, in the end you will find yourself on a most exhilarating investigative journey.
Ya gotta hand it to em, when Mormons Morm, they whitewash history better than Clorox does clothes... "Investigative journey" translated - cherry picked sources to come to a conclusion the brethren will accept so long as it makes Mormonism look inspired and true.

The author should have stated that as you read; you will, like yet another unhinged religious nut, draw upon Josh McDowell's "Evidence that demands a verdict" and imagine a fallacious court-room drama that may sway the supernatural into existence by the power of an impressionable jury.
It’s starting to look as if Tim Ballard might be the worst thing to happen to church leaders since Hoffman. He had those guys completely duped, hook line and sinker. Raising millions with the help of the brethren, spending it on hookers, booze, drugs and strip clubs. Oh my.

Relax, it's all part of Heavenly father's Plan of Salvation. One has to go off the covenant path in order to be able to get back on with a faith-promoting story that will convert millions all in one fell swoop, and the critics and apostates will hang their heads in shame...
